Alfred-Pellan


Alfred-Pellan (formerly Duvernay and Laval East) is a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1968. Its population in 2006 was 104,765.

The district includes the neighbourhoods of Duvernay, Pont-Viau, Saint-François, Saint-Vincent-de-Paul and the eastern part of the neighbourhood of Vimont in the City of Laval.

The neighbouring ridings are Marc-Aurèle-Fortin, Terrebonne—Blainville, Montcalm, Honoré-Mercier, Ahuntsic, and Vimy.

The riding was created in 1968 from Laval and was known as Duvernay until 1990 when it became Laval East. Upon redistribution in 2003 it was renamed Alfred-Pellan after the famous Quebec artist Alfred Pellan. Also it lost a small part of its territory to the newly created Marc-Aurèle-Fortin riding.
